you tried to install Kanotix, which is about 2.3 GB after install, to a 2 GB-stick
this is impossible, since the space on the stick is not sufficient. A 4GB Stick does work.

you can install the latest KanotixThorhammerRC6 also to an external usb-drive, if you can create a partition there greater than about 2.4GB, better 4-5. The procedure you mentioned from the FAQ is no more necessary - Kanotix installed on a partition of an external usb-drive boots without additional hacking

with the above scrip you can install the livecd to a stick - this only needs 702 MB

Do I have the same "autoconfiguring device" part of the livecd with an hd-installation?

Some parts of the hardware are autodetected on each boot, but other parts are not. For instance, /etc/X11/xorg.conf contains settings for keyboard, mouse and graphics driver. You would have to edit this file to have the correct settings for each computer.

If you want a Kanotix LiveCD with your favorite software added to it, you have to get a 1 GB thumb drive, copy the iso file to it and install grub in the MBR of the thumb drive. Then you can boot off the thumb drive with cheat code fromiso. Kano included a script that looks for a folder /deb and installs the packages from this folder.
